I saw Gehry yesterday at the Catalan TV news explaining how his "mini-Bilbao" in Rioja (which should be called "mini-Seattle" as it is closer to the Hendrix experience mess rather than the poetic Guggy in the basque city) tries to capture movement and excitement (because according to him "wine is exciting")...
it was funny, it looked like he was in school but not as the teacher showing his projects and being condescending with his pupils but being the kid showing his first project -intuitive and with very few "solid" arguments to defend it- in school and saying: well that's it, I planned and build it this way and if you don't like it then f*ck you.. almost literally...
I really am having a difficult time understanding the general public's fascination with his recent work (residents of Brooklyn Heights not included). I guess I don't really want to understand, I'm more so tired of reading about it.
